Ayuz Biden facing increased calls to bow out The worldrsquo first ever algae-powered building is being built and tested in Hamburg, Germany.Designed by the engineering multinational firm Arup, more famous for designing the Pompidou Centre, the Sydney Opera House and many of the stadium used for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the building is the first attempt to create what Arup has called th <a href=Link originals ultraboost</a> e future of skyscrapers.With the outer facades covered in glass panelled bioreactors the building can produce its own energy. The algae in the <a href=Link reactors provide biomass and thermal energy, as well as insulating the building from temperature changes and noise.Currently a total <a href=Link panda</a> of 129 reactors have been installed, all controlled by an energy management system that harvests energy from the sun, and the algae, to be used to heat water, which then can be used to generate electricity, or as a means of warming the building during the winter.

It might well become a sustainable solution for energy production in urban areas, so it is great to see it being tested in a real-life scenario.Arumrsquo vision of the future is one in which buildings are lsquo;living organisms,rsquo; powered by algae that respond automatically to changes in the weather, or inhabitant needs.
